Wow I loved this book! It is so dark and atmospheric and magical.  It gave me a similar feeling as when I read The Wicked Deep for the first time.

I just absolutely love the magic, the water, the witches.  The plot is so interesting and the lore of the island was so engaging to read about. 

I felt like the characters were a little underdeveloped in favor of a more developed plot. I wish there had been more chemistry between the love interests in order to make it more believable. I felt like the best developed relationship was Lina and her brother.
